Che Figata! Alfa Romeo Shows 2024 Lineup

The brand from Italy rolls into the next model year with a trio of models under its finely crafted leather belt, starting with the new Tonale and followed by the Giulia sedan plus Stelvio crossover. Fresh off the line are Competizione variants of the latter two, in addition to trims marking a centenary date.


Let’s start with the Stelvio. As Alfa celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Quadrifoglio performance brand, the plan is to build – you guessed it – a hundred copies of the limited-edition 100th Anniversary Quadrifoglio trim. Look for touches like unique wheels, carbon fiber mirror caps, and a dark grille. It’s not all paint and wallpaper, as Quadrifoglio models also upgrade the limited-slip differential from standard to operate mechanically instead of with what’s technically traction control wizardry. 


The new Competizione is based on a Veloce trim, meaning it’ll be powered by the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine delivering 280 horsepower and 306 lb-ft of torque, not the Quad’s 505-horse twin-turbo monster. Alfa adds active suspension gubbins here, along with the likes of a banging stereo system and extra badging. It is priced at $55,825 plus destination. All trims get fresh exterior lighting and a new digital instrument panel.

Prefer a sedan? Me, too. The slick Giulia model gets similar trim updates as the Stelvio, bringing a 100th Anniversary Giulia Quadrifoglio option and a Competizione which is based on the Veloce. Both those trims have upgrades that essentially parallel the same-name trims on Stelvio. Look for the Giulia Competizione to be priced at $51,520 plus destination for a rear-wheel drive car; add two grand to yer budget for all-wheel drive. It also gets new lights and a new gauge cluster.


Finally, we have the Tonale, offered as a plug-in hybrid that tag teams a 1.3L turbocharged four-banger and electric motor. Stated output is 285 horsepower and 347 lb-ft of torque. Thanks to a 15.5-kWh lithium-ion battery, it does have an all-electric range of about 30 miles, suitable for wide swaths of city-dwelling Americans whose commutes are well within that number. There will be three trims: Sprint, Ti, and Veloce. 


For those with inquiring minds, we will tell you that Alfa Romeo sold 12,845 vehicles in this country last year, roughly split evenly between Stelvio and Giulia.

    LOL... the number of comments here will be far higher than the actual US Sales of all these models put together. If they are not zero (a prudent decision, not to bring them here and bleed millions and millions of $)

    Saw a black Giulia quad 3-4 years ago, looked good, haven't seen many since. Saw a stelvio the other day with a headlight out, which is half the face of the car.

  • Bd2 “a lot of Tesla and Apple people.”This should be good.
  • Cprescott I installed hood struts on my 2016 Elantra by carefully noting that ones sold outside of the states had struts in some applications. I then found the size and ordered them from Amazon and bolted them in without drilling any holes. First one was the hardest but after I learned how to adjust and to place, it was 5 minutes to install.I do wish the trunk spring was stronger to allow the trunk lid to open all of the way instead of half way.
  • Cprescott From a real world perspective.Golf carts do not have to be fast. They can easily be as slow as the market average for the segment they compete. An affordable car does not need to accelerate to 60 mph faster than 8 seconds at the entry price point.Lowering the speed requirements also means you can reduce the size of the rear or front wheel drive motor - you don't need four wheel drive. Reducing that motor means less weight. All of the other components can also be downsized and someone needs to innovate so that these components other than the motor are modular and can be plugged into each other for easy repair without using cords.Reduce the size of the vehicle to less than 180 inches in overall length. Do not build it like it is an SUV as that adds height and weight. Make it a car - sedan or wagon. No need for sunroof or glass roof. Remove as much cost out of the unit for unneeded basic transportation.
  • 28-Cars-Later So Mr. Farley is out in 2025 for his continued faux pas?
  • 1995 SC Id find whoever Ford used in the mid 90s. My hood struts are original and still work and it isnt like the hood never goes up on that thing
